    Parson Weems Comes To Television

    Newt Gingrich's name is attached to this documentary, but I watched it anyway.

    This documentary paints a glowing portrait of George Washington. This is a good thing. There is a need for documentaries like this, especially for young Americans. America desperately needs heroes and there are few finer than George Washington.

    George Washington had flaws. He was a human being. George Washington owned slaves. This is also an important story that Americans should know. It's not told here and that's okay. Students should be taught about Washington and the other founders and slavery, but in high school.

    America needs heroes.

    This should be Mandatory viewing in every school in America!!!

    It goes without saying that our educational system is a disaster and a disgrace. Political Correctness has our children focused on meaningless literature and foreign doctrine. THIS, is what should be taught and viewed in every school in America. We must never forget our history or we will lose what so many have bled and died for. Washington was and still is the pivotal figure in American history. Well done documentary with stylized re-enactments. Keeps the viewer engaged. It glosses over some of mans typical faults and may paint a rather sterilized view... But still a must see for any history buff or Patriotic American.

    I can't stomach Gingrich at at all...but

    I was not even gonna watch this because of Newt Gingrich and his wife who I find despicable but I overcome my initial reaction and watched it and found it Informative.

    A great history lesson...

    ...For all Americans! This was a wonderful telling of George Washington; his time as a farmer, as a General and as out 1st President. A wonderful documentary.
